Notes

Traditionally, these cookies are formed into rectangles. To get that shape, use a small cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a 2-3" log. Brush with egg whites and top with sanding sugar and almonds. Bake as directed.

When a recipe call for House Seasoning Blend, you can find the recipe on www.itisakeeper.com. Simply search for "House Seasoning Blend" or you can substitute salt and pepper to taste.

I always use unsalted butter in my recipes.

I always use a meat thermometor to test for doneness when cooking meat.

When a recipe is made in the oven, it should be pre-heated to the temperature in the recipe, unless otherwise noted.
